Dancee Plus Telugu judges selected 12 contestants/groups from the audition rounds. Later this contestants/groups are divided in between all the 6 judges. So, each judge has 2 contestants/groups under his/her mentorship. The series features dance performers, including solo acts, Duo and larger groups representing any style of dance, competing for a grand prize. Contestants dance to a different tune, different theme and different styles every week and scores are given by the judges. If for a judge both teams have been eliminated, then that respective judge also eliminates. A wildcard as 13th contestant entered.
